Mapping Complex Marine Environments with Autonomous Surface Craft
This paper presents a novel marine mapping system using an Autonomous Surface Craft (ASC). The platform includes an extensive sensor suite for mapping environments both above and below the water surface. A relatively small hull size and shallow draft permits operation in cluttered and shallow environments. We address the Simultaneous Mapping and Localization (SLAM) problem for concurrent mappin...
متن کاملA method for protocol-based collision avoidance between autonomous marine surface craft
This paper is concerned with the in-field autonomous operation of unmanned marine vehicles in accordance with convention for safe and proper collision avoidance as prescribed by the Coast Guard Collision Regulations (COLREGS). These rules are written to train and guide safe human operation of marine vehicles and are heavily dependent on human common sense in determining rule applicability as we...
متن کاملA Path-following Controller for the Delfimx Autonomous Surface Craft
This paper addresses the problem of guidance and control for an Autonomous Surface Craft (ASC). A path following approach is used for steering the vehicle along a predefined path. The presented solution is based on the definition of an error vector that should be driven to zero by the path-following controller. The proposed methodology for controller design assumes a polytopic Linear Parameter ...
متن کاملHarmful Elements in Estuarine and Coastal Systems
Estuaries and coastal zones are dynamic transitional systems which provide many economic and ecological benefits to humans, but also are an ideal habitat for other organisms as well. These areas are becoming contaminated by various anthropogenic activities due to a quick economic growth and urbanization. This chapter explores the sources, chemical speciation, sediment accumulation and removal m...
متن کاملDevelopment of the Autonomous Surface Craft “aces”
At the MIT Sea Grant College Program, Autonomous Surface Craft (ASCs) have been under development since 1993. An ASC is a small vessel outfitted with navigation and control systems which permit it to carry out functions autonomously. The first ASC developed was the ASC ARTEMIS, which was used to study command and control architectures, navigation systems, and basic data collection techniques. T...
